Out of Lincoln Logs, Legos, Tinkertoys, Erector Sets I'd have to go with Legos. It seemed like every kid had Legos and Tinkertoys and you could make so much out of them. Lincoln Logs seemed too limited and the Erector Set always was intimidating to me as a youngster.

I went with other because I had a can of Playskool Bricks, which were like Legos but had red, white and clear plastic bricks along with doors and windows that could actually swing open. I loved making spaceships with them and I would use the blue and yellow one by one bricks as people.
I had Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys but the Playskool Bricks were my favorite toy.Read my blog at Moongem Comics about comics, toys and more.Comment

Legos...I still have a 55 gallon drum filled to the brim with them....my older two kids LOVE to play with them...."Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"
In the Southeast Pacific, lies the sunken city of R'Leyh. There lies C'thulhu waits to return to our world with the other Great Old Ones. A hideous creature of enormous size and alien power, it waits for it's time to return patiently. For it has all the time in the world while it waits for the stars.

Call me a naive European but there is only Lego that I recognise from that list. Erector looks very similar to what we know as Meccano.
It`s Lego all the way for me. I hated Meccano because most constructions involved bending the metal plates and the next build meant bending it back, metal fatigue set in and it snapped.
My son got some Meccano for christmas and it`s horrible stuff. The bending bit has been resolved using different materials but the tiny nuts and bolts are horrible for kids. It`s so badly thought out that the spanner provided is too big to fit in the gaps - hardly the way to keep kids attention.
Lego is still very popular in our house, especially with the Star Wars and other licenced sets.
The Space and Technic Lego was my favourite as a kid. I still have my Technic car chassis - the biggest Lego set I ever owned."I should say I`m very much cleverer than any of the people who put me here. As a matter of fact, I could leave any time I wanted. It`s only a doll`s house after all. Anyway, I don`t mind. I like dolls" - The Mad Hatter, Arkham Asylum.Comment
